Additional Info
The sun sets over Merri Creek (Troedel, 1865) and the metropolis of Melbourne (2020) whilst a lone figure sits on the East Brunswick river bank Telling the Bees (Hans Thoma, 1863) - an ancient cross-cultural tradition of confiding important events with them. Our love and emotional need for communion with nature in times of great sorrow and joy.
Blue Flax Lily (Dianella revoluta) frames this quiet moment of reflection, the lilys a faint colour, a Coolamon (bowl) beside him.
It is unclear what the news is.
